Hi Members,
I am likely to be moving into SG in the near future and was wondering what the area is like in terms of safety at night time and whether burglary is higher/lower than average.
I would be moving into a top floor flat in one of the houses in the stretch that is directly opposite Tesco with Osbourne Road being the closest side road to where I'd be living.
At present I'm living in Brimsdown in the borough of Enfield which is dismal in addition to being right out in zone 5.
I work in Angel Islington and visit my Mother quite often, who is in Muswell Hill and so I have been to SG a fair few times and was always under the impression that SG is pretty much on par with Crouch End though I have had others mention that the Finsbury park area itself is 'very rough' and gang problems were also mentioned which rather surprised me as it's not the impression I've got from the area in the past.
Would be great to hear from those actually living locally as to what the area is like.
If it helps, the postcode of where I would be moving to is: N4 3RZ
Many thanks in advance.

The area is as safe as any other part of North London and perhaps more so, and a lot more fun to live in than most. There isn't a street violence or particular gang problem (unless you are a teenager doing drugs perhaps) very mixed, now quite lively, not too gentrified - yet. We'll see.
